What is the required thickness for Apoxsee resin applied to flexible coupling surfaces?

The required thickness for Apoxsee resin applied to flexible coupling surfaces is 10 mil. This thickness is recommended to ensure a proper seal and maintain the integrity of the coupling. Applying the resin at the specified thickness allows it to effectively bond the surfaces, fill any gaps, and withstand the operational pressures and stresses involved in water works applications.

Using too thin a layer could result in insufficient sealing, which may lead to leaks or an inability to handle the dynamic forces during operation. Conversely, applying the resin too thick may not allow it to cure properly or could create excess material that could interfere with the operation of the coupling. Therefore, following the manufacturer's guidelines for thickness is crucial for achieving optimal performance and longevity of the coupling system.
